Aug 2WW

[twointow83]

Hi ladies feeling abit low after reading two of my fellow June 2ww swayers have/will miscarry... It's really making me ask myself the question about how badly I want to sway. I always thought from a young age that I wanted three kids but I waited and waited for the right person then waited another five years so we were somewhat set up. Now I'm feel I'm getting to old (as does dh) and in all honesty I do not think we'd be trying again if we'd had a pp. My dilemma is I do want to be pregnant but at the same token I want to know I gave it my best shot at a girl - if its a 3rd (and last) baby boy I'll be ok with that but I've worked so hard with this diet I just cant start adding more attempts etc just yet but on the other hand I feel like I'm borrowed time as such? and if we are going to have three bubs regardless of gender then that's what I need to do... Such a dilemma and I feel so selfish for thinking this way when there are people losing their babies as I type which makes me feel just awful and near tears

You certainly aren't alone. I'm only 32 but as far as I am concerned I might as well be staring down the barrel of menopause because I know that at 35 my odds of losses/chromosomal abnormalities goes up and given I already have had those issues there is a strong sense of urgency. Add to that the fact that I am establishing a pattern of loss a big part of me feels like we need to go "balls to the wall" in increasing fertility to try to get a sticky bean, which would be swaying boy 100%.

Your feelings don't diminish your sympathy for those involved, and their losses don't diminish your feelings. You are allowed to feel what you do.

Hi yaybaby I came across your first post in this aug 2ww thread and looks like we might be o buddies! I'm due to o Thursday or Friday got my first flashing smiley this morning! Lasr cycle I had two flashing b4 solid and cycle b4 that was three flashing b4 solid. Kinda hoping to o on friday which will be cd12 as worrying about oing so early in my cycle and therefore having much shorter cycles. Are you using opks and charting?

Hi Pbn, I am just now seeing your post! Like Taytum and hitme, I had to step away to avoid added stress in my life. A very close family member is going to pass any day now from a very quick but awful battle with cancer and I have enough stress in my life from that. I am due to O Thursday or Friday as well, hopefully it won't be delayed by all that is going on. I am using opks and charting, but haven't temped the whole cycle. I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down about the whole swaying plan, I definitely have days like that as well, especially when I hear of friends who are experiencing a loss. Only you can decide what's best for you, but I would still try to keep at least a mild sway

I'm so glad to see some of you are relaxing with this terrible diet! I had to do the same. I'm still avoiding breakfast when I get up but I'm only waiting until 9am as I NEED coffee by that point and I NEED sweetener creamer in it so I don't want to drink black when I first get up. And if my husband makes breakfast for him and DS on the weekends, you better believe I'm going to be joining them. I'm trying to avoid snacking and red meat, but other than that I'm eating what I want. And I'm eating pop-tarts or cinnamon toast for breakfast instead of cereal and banana. That's the best I can do at this point. I like healthy food so this diet is awful for me.

Laurenk - My body seems to do exactly what you are describing. Every month around CD 13/14 I get a medium line on the opk tests, then a few days of barely there lines, then a + between CD 17-19. So definitely don't assume you won't O!

So sorry - having someone die of cancer is a super hard experience. Hugs mama

Well we have to go into swaying knowing that an opposite is a very good reality. Unless we go HT, there are no guarantees regardless of how well we swayed. I too am reminding myself of this as I regroup to get ready to sway when this bub is 5-6mo.

I can say it is hard to get BFN after BFN, but I think it is just circumstance and not always due to swaying. Hang in there and know it will happen for you. Just don't drop diet, exercise if you're doing it, and don't have more than 1 or 2 attempts in your fertile window (preferably just 1 [emoji6]), unless in your heart of hearts you will be over the moon to have another DS like I was [emoji4]!

Hugs and tons of baby dust [emoji597][emoji92][emoji93][emoji94]!!

Eep! Did I read that right? You'll be swaying again?! That's exciting!

Thanks hitme. Sorry to bring my sad feelings to this thread, but you're right it is SO hard.

Yes, I start getting crampy a few days prior to O.

Cancer is an aweful, cruel beast. I've lost several loved ones from it. Sorry you and your family are having to go through this.

Last dose of clomid is down the hatch and I have the migraine to prove it (I have gotten a couple hot flashes but seem to be getting migraines this month in lieu of hot flashes). The wait to O has officially begun. Hopefully crushing them has helped and I will O sooner this cycle. It'd be nice as I have plenty to distract me for about a week, then I get to sit at home, no kids, nothing to do but kill time for the next week or two. Would like to NOT have to sit around waiting to O like last cycle.... except literally this time

Follicle study is on Monday

[YayBaby678]

Thanks two, it sure is awful!

Sometimes I think waiting to O is worse than the 2WW! Especially if you have nothing to do but kill time. FX it goes by quick for you.
